Oh, I don’t mind the genre and enjoy it from time to time. GnR used to drag Knocking on Heaven’s Door out for like 10 minutes live and at some point Axl shouted “gimme some REGGAE” and they went into it for a minute. Like just about everything GnR … fucking ridiculous.

And I say that as someone who absolutely considers them a major touch point in my life’s musical journey.

I had been using Openvibe for a while and switched for Flare a month or so ago? I’m not a heavy user, but I like it better than Openvibe. No issues.

Fair enough!

Have you tried the version from the Nebraska rerelease? So different and good.

I would 100% listen to a Ted talk about Jim Steinman compositions and comparing versions. It’s pretty incredible that Meatloaf only released Bat 1 and Bat 2 and no other music, because those sure were bangers. (Yeah. I know.)

It’s 75% great. But then it gets to the 3 minute mark and I just don’t need that minute plus of Lovely Days and held notes. But I know I’m most likely a minority with that opinion.

Top of my head, it has to be a toss up between Barbie Girl and Cotton Eye Joe. But given time, I’m sure I’d come up with something else.

Like I find Lovely Day by Bill Withers to be one of the most annoying songs ever, but I can’t say it’s BAD.

It has to be Sympathy.

It was cool when I was 14 and didn’t know shit about Bob Dylan or the song. But 35 years on…you just better start stamping your own rank certification, Jack, because it’s just you against your tattered libido, the bank, and the mortician, man, and it wouldn’t be luck if you got out of life alive.

Anyway, by no means the worst cover ever, but it’s just kind of fucking goofy.

Gimme some REGGAE!

It’s amazing that Irfanview is still around 30 years later and doing it’s ONE THING so well still. Sure, it looks a little dated these days and can feel a bit obtuse, but it’s an invaluable piece of software.

You say that like anyone considering stealing it would be a rational and semi-intelligent person. But this is America.

Yeah, I didn’t need anything more than the Docker features, so I didn’t bother with Zima. Like with Yuno, Zima is a whole distro on its own instead of an app that can be easily uninstalled.

Was it issues with installing apps or something else?

I will suggest CasaOS. It installs easily, then essentially has an app store (you can add other store sources too). For me it was a gentle way of getting used to the ideas around Docker and how to work with containers. After a bit, you’ll get to where you can set up containers for apps not in the store. Then you might create a whole stack for your Arrs suite. And then maybe you outgrow it entirely. It’s just an app, unlike Yuno, which is a whole distro if I recall correctly.

For public exposure, I use Cloudflare tunnels. Pretty easy to set up (there is a CasaOS package for cloudflared), though the Cloudflare side can get confusing depending on what you want to do.

Google would never just give up on a product that people love!

This is pretty much the same setup I have. 2 bay Synology NAS for storage, mini PC (8gb ram, currently at 48% usage) for applications. Also added an external SSD that I had kicking around.

I’m running:

• gluetun
• sonarr
• radarr
• seerr
• Jellyfin
• deluge
• sabnzbd
• Navidrome
• audiobook shelf
• Calibre Web advanced
• komga
• adguard home (and sync)
• wiki.js
• zoraxy (reverse proxy)
• dockhand
• MeTube
• homarr
• dotdash
• freshrss
• mealie

And then using Synology packages for Drive and Photos.

I’m waiting (and waiting and waiting) on mine. I got it mostly for GameCube, but looking forward to some PSP and PS2 as well.

I went with the orange because I always wanted a Spice colored GC. This is as close as I will ever get.

How is Balatro on it? The game text is already so small.

Honestly, the tape idea is one of the most practical ones in the thread!
